Using Thunderbird to Access McGill Emails
If you are starting Thunderbird for the first time, you will be prompted to add a new mail account.
If you already have other accounts configured, you can add a new account by going into settings (click the gear icon 
in the bottom left of the window) then account settings, Account Actions, and finally Add Mail Account.
Once the Account Setup screen comes up, you will be prompted for your information.
Once you click continue, Thunderbird should automatically find the correct server addresses.
Upon clicking done, you should get a pop up window prompting you to log into the McGill System. In certain cases, you may need to do a two factor authentication via your method of choice.
You will also be asked to accept the permission request to allow thunderbird to access your McGill mail.
At this point, your Thunderbird client should be all set
It might take a few minutes for thunderbird to sync with your McGill mailbox.
